Dear Wine Friend,
 
Everybody is getting into the winemaking act!  Now sommeliers are not content to stay in the dining room.  ONCE a year, Once Wines pow wows with some of the nation's best sommeliers to discuss, sample and blend their version of a perfect wine for their restaurant's specific cuisine.  Once Wines is the brand for a series of specific sommelier-restaurant selected, upscale blends of "house labels" being produced by a new "hybrid" facilitator called Evening Lands Vineyards.  With the support and help of legendary sommeliers Larry Stone (formerly of Rubicon in San Francisco), and Daniel Johnnes (Daniel Boulud's Dinex Group), Once Wines is collaborating with Evening Lands Vineyards' network of "inside" connections to find high quality juice from some of the best vineyard sites in Oregon and California.  The results are outstanding wine values blended exclusively for the French Laundry, Per Se, Michael Mina, Jean-Georges, Union Square Cafe, and even Willi's Wine Bar in Paris.   
 
Daniel Johnnes is not only one of the very finest sommeliers in our country, but the world.  To recognize Johnnes as just a sommelier is an understatement of huge proportion; like calling Tiger Woods a golfer!  He is also an importer, author, and organizer of the Burgundian celebration,La Paulée in the United States.  Since 2000, this annual bacchanalian event has rotated between New York and San Francisco. The 2010 event is scheduled  in San Francisco March 12-13th.  Honestly, if you think you are into food and wine appreciation, then this is the best of the BEST!  Please click on the blue underlined links above for more information.
 
At last year's La Paulée festivities, one of the event sponsors, coincidentally Evening Lands Vineyards, conducted a friendly competition pitting teams of America's finest sommeliers against one another to blend their versions of a perfect wine to serve with food.  Judged by a panel composed of one Master Sommelier and two of France's preeminent wine makers, the winning blend was the 2007 Once Wines "The Table" Cabernet Sauvignon from four of Napa Valley's most esteemed vineyards. 
 
I had the opportunity to sample "La Table" last week, and the wine is a SLAM DUNK!  This Cabernet Sauvignon over delivers in every way!  I ordered immediately!  AND you'd better too!  Only 450 cases were produced, and it is being offered to only a handfull of specifically selected restaurants and fine wine stores around the country. 
 
Yes, the 07 vintage in Napa Valley is going to be a head turner!  Racy and bright, spicy berry aromas!  Fruit forward, high toned red currants, raspberrry and black cassis fruits dance across the palate. Full bodied, but stylish, and well balanced without unnecessary ripeness or extraction.  Just a tinge of oak is left to the imagination. A vibrant and lingering finish assures food friendliness, but also encourages evolution. - my notes
 
 
Makes me wonder if the La Paulée sommelier blending contest will be an annual part of the festivities?  This winning blend is a simply delicious, value conscious, cutting edge wine.  With links to America's top restaurants, the 07 Once "The Table" should be a coveted choice for what's on your table, and a good "share and tell" conversation piece to boot!  And for you foodies, it might be a fun collectible for just the label alone!
